I am in no way downing anybody's tournament, however we found out two years ago that if you only attend tournaments locally you wrestle the same kids every weekend. This is not a horrible thing, but I really think that once we started broadening our horizons and going wherever we could in order to get quality competition our son's skills really grew. He went from not even qualifying for state to winning state! If that competition happens to be in Oklahoma then that is where we go! We attend tournaments every weekend(sometimes twice) from November to March and we only attend out of state 3 or 4 times. I feel we are very loyal to our fellow Kansas clubs. We also have to remember that several out of state kids come to some of our finer tourneys like Park City!
